Play

Heimerdinger wants to run a play similar to the previous one, with Scaife going upfield and clearing space for Washington underneath.

Result

Young pumps, then looks to run; he's tackled for a one-yard loss.

HEIMERDINGER: "This is part of our red-zone package, and we've practiced this play forever. [Johnson] is supposed to be lined up on the right side, but he's on the left. Now we've got three guys in the same spot. Vince is looking for CJ, but he's not in the spot he should be. So the sack comes, which we don't want. We have to use the timeout."
